Like everyone else on this tread I built a note-taking system!

Mine is called MindPalace and its special feature is that it is focused on spaced repetition and remembering the notes after they were written.

For me, whenever I would take notes, they would become stale and forgotten. Despite Emerson's quote “I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”, I felt that there is a lot more to be gained from remembering them.

For instance, I can remember meetings past and insights gained by following up on meeting notes, or insights I got from reading books. I have almost a 1000 notes in my personal notebook.

BTW, the app is self-hosted and avilable here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/msipos/mind-palace

I'd be curious if anyone else does "spaced repetition note taking" and if anyone can share cool tools for that (my tool is not particularly good)
